S. Harwood in Harper's Magazine. “In the Atlantic ocean the vast Saragasso sea, containing three millions of square miles of surface—a great marine prairie as large*sas the whole of the United States exclusive ef Alaska and dependent islands—af- fords vegetable food for uncountable animals, which, in their due time, die and are precipitated to the depths, their bodfes in turn to be eaten by the h live far below all veg- So it is throughout the whole ocean; an 1 life is constantly falling from the surface waters for the sup- port of the animal life of the abyss. A very large number of the deep sea animals are exceedingly tenuous or translucent in form—so to put it—hav- ing no special organs of nutrition, but taking in their nourishment through the walls of their bodies, appropriat- ing from the water the food which suits them. bony structure, a skeleton, which they form also from the water, silica and carbonate of lime being the chief skeleton-forming materials.” One Love, I shall love him when the world is at his feet With its cheers; When the plaudits of the many, sound+ ing swect, Still his fears; I aed love him with a love that will not ie, While the throne of love is hidden in the sky, and en earthly love shall light a human eye With its teaza. shall love him when the world has turned aw As it ¥ be To the hero of a mere imperious day: Love him stf'l When there’s not a smile to greet hi saddened face, ce He should fill. ‘ him now with love that’s alt $ divine! life and all my soul's immortal In him shine; He is lover, friend, and husband, all in | one, | And his kindness unto me {s never done, And through him alone my lasting joy is_ won. He is mine! rles W. Stevenson, A Test for Mahogany. So closely are many of the new pieces of mahogany modeled after the genuine antiques in form and color that only an expert can tell the dif+ ference. “There is one way,” how- ever, declares a well known connois+ seur in antique furnishings, “that you can always distinguish between the genuine and its copy. Put your knuckles against it as you would against a mirror to tel its real thick nes: If it is well varnished so that it brings out the reflection of the finger cleariy, you may be sure it is new. If the reflection is clouded, it is antique.” Natural Cure for Rheumatism, There is a wonderful grotto at Mon- summano, called the Grotto Giusti, where the natural vapor is stated to be an infallible cure for rheumatism, Fifty years some workmen were quarrying for lime when they diseov- ered the grotto, and its healing pow- ers were first made known some little time later. in the lowest portion, ap propriately mamed the “Inferno,” the temperature is about 95 degrees Fahr., and here the victims from rheuma- tism sit and perspire for an hour at a time. Such a vaper bath is said to be ot much greater service than a Furk- jsh bath. asc Workhouse Museums. Several of the great London work- houses have remarkable museums at- tached to them. In a South London union museum can be found a clergy- man’s letters of ordination (the own- er died in the house), and a peculiar belt made of human teeth and brought from the West Coast of Africa. But perhaps the most significant of all things shown is a small pocket dice Some of them have aj box. Upon the box is neatly cut: “This box and other wagering cost me £30,000, and brought me to the workhonse.” eh F: My_ sou! thou arta climbing vine hose root is in the sod. f ‘Oh! make the best ideals thine And learn to: bea god!

A famous French political economist drew up a statistical table some time ago on this very question, and the analysis showed that nine-tenths’ of the world’s wars have grown out of ‘quarrels that arose directly from com- mercial disputes. No fewer than fifty- five wars were classified as civil; for- ty-one were wars of succession of Crown claims; thirty under the pre- tense of helping allies; twenty-eight were religious wars; twenty-four were wars of retaliation; twenty-two were for commercial rivalry; and eight on points of honor. Changes in National Features, Whether we look at portrait gal- leries, like Hampton court, or turn over illustration in old books, it is evident that some physiognomical change has been taking place. The stout, plethorie, muscular, ruddy-facei man of stolid expressiqn is becoming exceptional, and his place is being tak- en by a thinner, more alert, active type. The modern face ig more keen, leaner end of less coarse mould than those ef the older pioneers who laid the foundation cf their country’s greatness.—Aspects of Social IEvola- tian ———— rr tt Singeth Low In Every Heart.

A patient German scientist of a sta- tistical turn of mind calculates that | the amount of energy expended by a person who coughs once every quar- ter of an hour for ten hours is equiva- lent to 250 unfts of heat or the nour- | ishment yielded by three eggs or two glasses of milk. Coughing is thus seen to be an expensive luxury. The reason for the waste in force entailed by it, or one reason at least, lies in the fact that while in normal respira- tion the air is expelled from the chest at the rate of four feet a second, in violent coughing velocity of 300 feet. it may attain a | Keeps Customers in Line. A Watervile barber has a unique contrivance in his shop. It is a large erunciator about two and one-half feet in diameter and works on the same principle as the date indicator on the face of a clock? The numbers run | from one to forty. The idea is that when a man goes in he takes a card | from a spindle on a stard by the door and every time a chair is empty the barber presses the electric button. and the indicator moves up a nuraber. When a man’s number rings up he takes his turn.—Lewiston (Me.) Jour Rai. — Horses in Battle. Arabian horses, show remarkable courage in battle. It is said that when a horse of this breed finds him- self wounded, and knows instinctively that he will not be able to carry his rider much longer, he quickly retires, bearing his master to a place of safe- ty while he has yet sufficient strength. But if, on the other hand, the rider is wounded and falls to the ground, the faithful animal remains beside him unmindful of danger, neighing untit "| "The White Cockade” Played Before | ly. that he was this man. assistance is brought. Americans .in 1775. It fs the old music, after all, that puts the life into marching feet, for it carries the traditions of marching in its melodies. One of the oldest of tbe tunes was “The White Cockade.” This is a historical melody to Amer- icans, though many Americans may not be aware of the fact. It was the tune to which the farmers who fired the shot heard round the world marched when they determined ta force the passage of tke bridge at Concord. Possibly it was the only tune which the drummer and fifer of Capt. Isaac Davis’ company knew, but the faet that it was played is histo- vical. The popularity of the tune is proof that a melody made for one par- ty is recognized as good by all if it has the quality of being singable. “The | White Cockade” was originally a Ja- cobite tune, but it made a good march for the descendants of the English Puritans, April 19, 1775, avhen Capt: Davis made his musicians strike up. As they were the first American force that ever advanced to battle as Amer- icans, “The White Cockade” is the old- est melody of the American army.-- Boston Transcript. SIMPLE TEST FOR EGGS. Method Used in Germany Said to Be Infxtible. A new and simple method for test- ing eggs is published in German pa- pers. It is based upon the fact that the air chamber in the flat end of the egg increases with age. If the egg is placed in a saturated solution of com: mon salt it will show an inereasing inclination to float with the long dxis vertical. A scale is attached to the vessel containing the salt solution so that the inclination of the floating ese toward the horizontal can be meas ured. In this way the age of the egg gan be determined almost to a day. A fresh egg lies in a horizontal posi- tion at the bettom of the vessel; an egg from three to five cays old shows an elevation of the flat end so t rat its tong axis forms an angle of 20 de grees, With an egg eight days eld the angle inereases to 45 degrees; with an eggs fourteen days old to 60 de grees, and with one three weeks old to 75 degrees, while an egg @ month old floats vertically upon the polated end, magnet ey THEY HAD MET BEFORE, Business Man’s Intreductien Recidedly Humorous, “The most curious break | ever made,” said a young business man the other day, “was at my club. I was in the library talking with a man who was in my class at college and whom I knew intimately. As we were sit- ting there in walked another member of the club whom we both knew. We both greeted him, Then the conver- sation continued, only three were in it instead of two. Suddenly it oc curred to me that perhaps my two friends had not been introduced. ‘Beg pardon,’ I said; ‘f suppose you men know each other. Mr. S-——, Mr. T——.’ They laughed, but they grave- ly shook hands and said they were ac- quainted, and all that sort of thing, and then they looked at me and laughed again, only harder than be- fore. Then it all dawned on me. The newcomer bore a fairly strong resem- blance to another man whom also I knew well at college, and I had as- sumed, not having looked at him close- But he wasn't, after all, and the man I had introduced him to was his own brother.” “It has been seriously asserted by many people that we ard naturally lighter after a meal, and they have even gone the length of explaining this by the amount of gas that is developed from the food. Average observations, however, show that we lose three pounds six ounces between night and morning; that we gain one pound twelve ounces by breakfast; that we again lose about fourteen ounces before lunch; that lunch puts on an average of about one pound; that we again lose during the after- noon an averag® of ten ounces, but that an ordinary dinner to healthy persons adds two pounds two ounces to their weight. Sunshine, The latest’ fad of the very rich is sunshine, obtained at any cost and almost at will. Verandas are glassed in to form sun parlors, and rooms te which the sun comes in the natural course of events are furnished accord- ingly, Then there is no anxiety over the fadind of carpets and hangings. A room seen recently contained rugs warranted to resist the influence of the sun, ecru curtains and rattan fur- niture, whose cushions were covered with Java cotton, in bright colors, that are indelible. It was very pretty and cheery, and had the sun a good part of the day in its early hours. Urn Buried for 2,000 Years, In the neighborhood of Bourne mouth, England, recently, during the construetion of a new road the exca- vators cut into a mound, which is in- dicated upon the map as an ancient burie! ground, and.a large sun-baked clay urn was unearthed. It was in a remarkable state ef preservation and was intact. The roots of the heather kad forced their way into the interior of the ‘receptacle and into the ashes and dust it contained. The urn was estimated to be 2,009 years old. THE BIRD WE WORSHIP. . American Eagle Furnishes Wonderful Example of Constancy. In the discussicn of the. marriage that the birds of the air are monoga- mous. But the bird of birds, and‘ the one that we most cherish as the em! blem of the gferious American repub- lic, certainly is. The American eagle nevey mates | but once, and lives with that one mate | till he or she dies. If left a widower —even a young’ widower—the bald headed eagle never mates again. He remains, alone and disconsolate near the home he once shared with his former mate, and no other eagle can ever tempt him to forsake it or share | it with another. Divorce is unknowg with the Ameri for worse, and death alone separated them. With him it is, once a widow- er, always a widower. It is singular that his example is so seldom quoted. Training for the Bride to Be. A young society girl of this city | who is to be one of next fall’s brides, in order to prepare herself to take charge of her own home, has been given the entire management of her parents’ home. Her mother is almost like a boarder in the house. The young bride to be orders the meals, pays the pew rent in church, pays for the newspapers and periodicals—in short, she has the handling of all the i expenditures of the home. One thing is certain, this girl has a wise mother, ' and the result of the training in homo management cannet but be successful. —Univnka. Mass.. Telegram.
